How well do you know the cancer types that are common among Malaysian women? Apart from breast cancer, cervical cancer is now ranked the 3rd most common cancer attacking Malaysia women till today. Cervical cancer is caused by the abnormal growth of cells in the cervix part, which is the lower part of women's uterus. It spreads very fast and according to statistics, 2 to 3 cases are confirmed daily >.< Almost 99.7% of cervical cancer cases is caused by the HPV (human papiloma virus) infections.
As the world is now advancing forward, many governments has taken the appropriate step in curbing cervical cancer from taking more lives. Malaysian women are very lucky because the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (Kementerian Pembangunan Wanita, Kebajikan dan Masyarakat) is currently in full force of providing FREE HPV VACCINATION PROGRAM ^_^
